From the 3d of May to the 4th of June inclulive, a ther- 
mometer placed within a tent, under the fhade of trees, 
was almoft every day above 100°, and feveral times 
above 109°, once at 112°. The trees under which 
the tent was placed formed, as I have been informed, a 
very thick fliade ; fo that I think thefe heights are more 
likely to fall fhort of the true heat of the open air at that 
time, than to exceed it. The leaft height I meet with 
of the thermometer in the open air in the fhade, is 42°; 
which it was at twice in the month of January, at 7 A.M. 
The greateft heat is on June 9th, at noon, when it 
was at 1 1 4°, the fky cloudy ; the thermometer within 
doors at the fame time 95®, which is lefs than it had fre- 
quently been in the month of May; fo that it feems. 
likely, that the heat in the open air in May had fre- 
quently been above 114°. During the voyage to 
England, the thermometer was placed in the round- - 
houfe, and was ohferved regularly at eight in the morn- 
ing, at noon, and at three in the afternoon ; the winds 
and weather are alfo fet down. The round-houfe,,
